Quarterback Michael Brusko sounds off in a piece in the student newspaper at the University of Maine today, taking a stand against Tiger Woods.

It's a classic we're-tougher-than-you-argument by Brusko who basically challenges Tiger Woods to try teeing off with some 10,000 screaming fans, instead of a quiet gallery. It's well written.

And in other Maine news:
